I'm with you. I love huge snowstorms.... once a year. This nonsense is getting to be a bit much. I want to take my goddamn doors and top off my Jeep already!!!

With the hit from behind into the boards, I would have said he looks more like Matt Cooke.

Yeah, they were too big for Marty St. Louis, so he sent them back!

Skate with your stick down! Good luck, and don't get frustrated. Hard work always offsets any lack of skill.

Only if he paid for the tickets.

Just watched DiPietro call out Brent Johnson, then get his face caved in with one punch.

I do 30 minutes at a clip, at a pretty good rate. I usually keep my heart rate around 150.

Joined a gym recently and cut out the junk foods. Just trying to burn some fat, (5-10 lbs.)not necessarily looking to build muscle. I've been spending most of my time on the elliptical machine, and it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Any tips or ideas?

Come on... EVERYONE has heard Goldilocks and the 3 bears....

This isn't related to the hockey industry, but it IS customer related. How is it that you can call me for auto parts, with the car 2 feet in front of you, 15 "certifications" on the wall above you, and you can't answer the questions I ask you about the car?? Oh, you can't tell if it has 15" or 16" wheels? You can't look to see if it disc or drum rear brakes? Ok, I'll guess and send you a part, and wait for you to call and bitch because it's wrong. I don't ask questions just to hear myself talk. Yes, sometimes what motor you have DOES make a difference in which brake pads you get. Don't be a dick, and just answer the questions.

What's the story with that?

In second place for the league scoring title by one point. Would be in first by quite a bit, but the refs didn't give me credit for 5 assists over the past two games.

"...can't live with 'em, and they can't pee standing up."

Fixed.

... that you didn't even get to pick out, right?

While they got their skates sharpened. Who here HASN'T fooled around with equipment while waiting for skates or something.

so in the above post, you said they DECLINED to have you fit the kid with a helmet.... But then complain that they used the shop as a fitting service.... Which one is it??

Going to pick up a new (to me) bike this weekend. It's been 5 or 6 LOOOOOONG years since I last rode. A sweet 02 Kawi ZRX1200.

Just have faith in your coaches. Trust what they tell you, and how they teach you. It's probably a good bet that they have a plan in mind, and they just might know a bit more about the game and their game plan than you. It's not a lot of fun, but it's meant to improve you as an individual and as a team.

What do you have against conditioning?? It's also a rather important attribute, along with shooting and passing. Possibly even more important.

Yes, he does. Very well at that.

Then it sounds like the kid I was watching might have been just learning. But it was really bad.

I was in there yesterday, and was watching one of them sharpen skates. What I saw and heard was just DREADFUL. I know I can never go there for a skate sharpening now....

So you're actually improving!

I had 4 removed at 11am. That night at 7 had a tournament with two games that night.
